Grand Haven is a western Michigan town located at the mouth of the Grand River on the shoreline of Lake Michigan. American Gangster Al Capone supposedly once owned a safe house near town, and George "Baby Face" Nelson committed his first bank robbery here. On the other end of the, ahem, spectrum, it was also the first town in the US to offer city-wide Wi-Fi access.
The City of Grand Haven, located about 35 miles west of Grand Rapids, Michigan and 14 miles south of Muskegon has a population of about 10,500. Grand Haven is part of the Holland-Grand Haven Metropolitan Area, which has a total population of about 264,000. It's a buzzing beach resort community with many surrounding recreational areas, including campgrounds, biking trails, golf courses and a large boating community. Due to its location close to the center of the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, and because it is centrally located to the much larger urban centers of Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Holland, Grand Haven is a vacation destination and weekend getaway for many residents of those cities, as well as people who live in the many smaller towns that dot the central western Michigan landscape.

Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Grand Haven renters. They`re typically a beautiful addition to your space. They’re also easier to clean and sweep, particularly if you have pets.
However, there are some downsides. Hardwood floors carry sounds. They can also make your apartment noisy for your roommates and downstairs neighbors.
Ask the landlord or property manager about the hardwood floors before signing a lease. Are they actually hardwood or a popular composite alternative? The latter is probably easier to clean and care for than the real thing.
It’s also important to ask about who’s responsible for any damage to the floors and what that entails. Your security deposit could take a hit from scratches, dents, and other damage.
Consider the type of climate you live in. Hardwood floors typically don’t fare well in damp climates full of moisture. Stains and buckling are common in hardwood floors after rain flooding or excessive moisture.
However, hardwood floors can be ideal for dry climates or sunny areas for renters who love the way they look.
